What Lively said about her legal complaint

Lively made additional complaints against Baldoni, saying he started a “social manipulation” effort to “destroy” her reputation after she filed the complaint.

“I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted,” Lively said in a statement to The New York Times.

What Baldoni’s lawyer says

Bryan Freedman, Baldoni’s lawyer, responded to the allegations in a statement to People, saying Lively is trying to “fix her negative reputation.” Freedman said the allegations are “false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt.”

The lawyer added that Lively caused problems on the set of It Ends With Us as she was “threatening to not showing up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release.”

It is important to note that despite the idea of the film’s “demise” presented in the statement, the film has grossed over $350 million worldwide at the global box office.
